Paragon28’s Smart Options for the Foot

Paragon28 is entering the next chapter of foot and ankle surgery by developing enabling technology that customizes the procedure to the patient and eliminates a one-size-fits-all approach, CEO Albert DaCosta tells Bloomberg Intelligence. In this episode of the Vanguards of Health Care podcast, DaCosta sits down with BI analyst Matt Henriksson to talk about how the company started from the co-founder’s basement, how its technology built a cohesive commercial model to aid foot and ankle surgeons, including product and clinical support, and how it has developed the SMART28 ecosystem that gives surgeons the ability to calculate a patient-specific surgical plan focusing on both bone-reconstruction and soft-tissue balancing. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
